{} I ran one chapter of a report through both scribe and the LaTeX macros (the conversion was easy, by the way). The demands made of the formatter were pretty much standard stuff: several footnotes, frequent font changes, space for two figures. No index entries. The whole thing, including title page, TofC, LofF amounted to 14 pages formatted. The machine was a sun, the printer an imagen. The following are from the 'time' command. scribe LaTeX user: 75.6 51.0 sys: 15.8 5.6 in: 188 149 out: 46 42 shared: 73+67 40+77
